After the latest VK innovations last year, none of the developers deigned to explain why the middle name line was removed. Now, using a clear example, we will explain how to make a middle name in VK, based on the code of the personal information page. The funniest thing is that if they decided to completely remove it, they would clean up the code, if they listened to the opinions of users, they would immediately return it. The result is the same: they are either ignorant, lazy, or they don’t care about the interests of users. Whatever they have, we will next look at how to make a middle name in VK if it is missing.

In this article we will find out how to make a middle name in VK, because the new management has released an update in which it is no longer possible to indicate a middle name.
There was such an opportunity last year, but now it’s time to make a middle name, or, as is now fashionable, the so-called “match”. Yes, you can put anything: emoticons, tags and even links.
Why was the middle name removed?
The patronymic, unlike the first and last name, is not moderated by the contact’s management. The fact is that the middle name is no longer involved in the search and there is no sense in it. You can use it for beauty by putting an emoticon or nickname in its place.
Why was it necessary to remove the patronymic at all and where did the line “patronymic VKontakte” go?
The fact is that the social network was initially positioned as an analogue of Facebook for the CIS countries, where everyone knows what a middle name is and many use it, but according to the laws of business, the business must expand, that is, the site’s audience must grow. In the CIS countries everyone already knows about VKontakte and the market has been conquered. The rest is up to Europe, America and other countries.
Due to the fact that the social network is now focused not only on the CIS countries, but also on Western countries, it was decided to rename the domain to vk, and not vkontakte. Foreigners do not have such a word, so it was decided to use an abbreviation.
Thus, they killed two birds with one stone: they shortened the long domain for the CIS countries and made a more understandable and adapted site for foreigners.
And now, answering the main question “why and why was the middle name removed?” let’s remember, do foreigners have a middle name? The answer is no. For foreigners, it will be a big mystery why some users have three fields in their initials. That is why the middle name was removed and today we will figure it out, how to put a middle name on VKontakte.
There are several ways to add a middle name on VKontakte
Plugin
First: you can use one of the plugins for this social network. vkopt for example.
As far as I know, this plugin has the most complete functionality and can do almost everything. Only he doesn't know how. The plugin automatically adds the “middle name” line to the profile editing page.
This is not an advertisement, just choosing from other plugins for VK, this one inspires the most confidence, since everyone has been using it for many years and I have not heard a single story of exposing plugin developers who steal your passwords, as usually happens with most other plugins.
I also do not recommend using programs for contact, since 80% of all programs for this site will steal your data or leave a virus on your computer. If a program or plugin requires you to specify a password, token, or copy the cache, then feel free to delete this software, because Such tricks are used only to steal your passwords.
By editing the page code
Second way:
With this method make a middle name in VK it will be much faster, but for this you will need the Google Chrome browser and the absence of fear when you see the long code of a website page :)
Let's look at the instructions:
- Open your VK page for editing (preferably with the Chrome browser)
- Place the cursor on the name and press the right mouse button: a menu appears, where the “view code” option is available at the bottom
- The page code debugger has opened, where the code of the “name” element is highlighted before your eyes
- Select the line(s) with the name code and copy with the right mouse button as html
- Now, using the debugger (below), insert a duplicate entry with the next line, selecting “edit html”. Well, the Ctrl+V combination is actually for inserting a duplicate entry
- Just a little left! In the double, we change your name to the desired middle name, and the words “first_name” - which means the first name in English, to the expression “middle_name” - the middle name, or the middle name itself
- We see changes on the main VK page. If everything suits you, click save!
By the way, you can use a nickname instead of your middle name. Who likes what. True, it is unknown how long this VKontakte bug will last.
Hello, friends! For each VKontakte user, on the main page you can see the first and last name, but some also display a nickname or patronymic. How can I write it or just replace it with my last name?
This must be done from a computer or laptop. I will show the example of the Google Chrome browser.
So, go to your VKontakte page and under your avatar, click on the “Edit” button. You can click on the thumbnail at the top right and select a similar item from the drop-down menu.
An area with code will open on the right, with one line highlighted. Move the mouse cursor over the line that is above the highlighted one and click the right mouse button.
In the context menu, select “Edit as HTML”.
After this, part of the code will be presented in this form. Place your cursor at the end of this code.
It should look like the screenshot below.
After this, the “Patronymic” field will appear on the VKontakte settings page. You can close the code by clicking on the cross in the upper right corner of the window.
Enter the desired text in the “Middle name” field. This can be either your real name or your nickname.
Scroll down the page a little and click on the “Save” button.
Once your changes have been saved, return to your page.
On the pages of some VK users there is a patronymic or nickname. You cannot simply add it to your first or last name, since these fields have a limit on the number of words entered. To make a middle name on your page you will need minimal knowledge of html. For ease of code editing, you can use specialized programs (HTML-Reader is suitable). If it is not possible to download and install this software, then use a regular notepad.
To get started, go to the editing section on your page. To do this, click the appropriate button:
Afterwards you need to go to the HTML code viewing mode. Right-click anywhere on the page. If you use Yandex browser (), you will see the “Explore element” link:
Click on "View Code". A console will open below to edit it. Please note that as you move the cursor across the fields, the corresponding lines of code are highlighted:
Algorithm of actions
Select the code that is located above the line with the word “Last Name”, right-click and select “Edit as HTML”:
A tag will open separately, which contains information about the block with the last name:
Copy and paste this code into Notepad or another program. Then do the following:
- In line < divclass=”pedit_label”>Last name:div> replace the word “Last name” with “Patronymic”
- In line Ivanova” id=”pedit_last_name” class=”dark” autocomplete=”off”> replace “pedit_last_name” on “pedit_middle_name”
- Remove your last name from the code value=”Ivanova”(will remain value=””)
Now copy the code you changed and paste it below the last name block. If that doesn’t work, right-click again and select “Edit as HTML” mode.
After that, left-click anywhere in the code. A new “Patronymic” field will appear in the VK page settings. Then you can close the console with the code, and enter your middle name or nickname in the field that appears. Next, you need to click the “Save” button.
It is worth noting that if you do not save the changes to your VK page immediately, then in order to change your middle name you will have to do all the above steps again.
You can change your full name or add a middle name on your page legally; you should not be afraid of any penalties from the VK administration.
